The Importance of IATA Accredited Travel Agent

There are approximately 60,000 travel agents worldwide who have accreditation through IATA. This accreditation enables travel agents to work closely with other organizations to provide their customers with a luxury tour package that meets their needs.

An IATA-accredited travel agent boosts consumer confidence. Consumers understand the importance of IATA accreditation. To be eligible for IATA accreditation, accredited travel agents must meet certain requirements.

All IATA-certified agents are reliable and meet the accrediting agency's minimum security and financial requirements. This means that IATA-accredited travel agents can be relied on to go above and beyond industry standards.

IATA agents are authorized to access various data resources for their clients. IATA agents are the industry-trusted source to help prepare and document all parts of a tour. The agents have immediate access to IATA for invoicing and payments systems. By using the IATA software, the transaction process can be simple and fast.

IATA accreditation is globally recognized. Customers and Vendors who work with an IATA travel agent know that the agent meets the industry standard for trust and security.

Furthermore, IATA agents can show their ID cards to obtain promotional benefits and concessionary incentives from participating members. IATA provides global standards for airline safety, security, efficiency, and sustainability to the airline industry.
